Unsupervised WSD methods do not rely on annotated training datasets and can use WordNet. Since each ambiguous word in the WSD task exists in WordNet and each sense of the word has a gloss, we propose SGM and MGM to learn sense representations for words in WordNet using the glosses. In the WSD task, we calculate the similarity between each sense of the ambiguous word and its context to select the sense with the highest similarity. We evaluate our method on several benchmark WSD datasets and achieve better performance than the state-of-the-art unsupervised WSD systems.

Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) is an important task for Biomedicine text-mining. Supervised WSD methods have the best results but they are complex and their cost for testing is too high. This work presents an experiment on WSD using graph-based approaches (unsupervised methods). Three algorithms were tested and compared to the state of the art. Results indicate that similar performance could be reached with different levels of complexity, what may point to a new approach to this problem.

This chapter discusses the basic concepts of Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) and the approaches to solving this problem. Both general purpose WSD and domain specific WSD are presented. The first part of the discussion focuses on existing approaches for WSD, including knowledge-based, supervised, semi-supervised, unsupervised, hybrid, and bilingual approaches. The accuracy value for general purpose WSD as the current state of affairs seems to be pegged at around 65%. This has motivated investigations into domain specific WSD, which is the current trend in the field. In the latter part of the chapter, we present a greedy neural network inspired algorithm for domain specific WSD and compare its performance with other state-of-the-art algorithms for WSD. Our experiments suggest that for domain-specific WSD, simply selecting the most frequent sense of a word does as well as any state-of-the-art algorithm.

We present AutoExtend, a system that combines word embeddings with semantic resources by learning embeddings for non-word objects like synsets and entities and learning word embeddings that incorporate the semantic information from the resource. The method is based on encoding and decoding the word embeddings and is flexible in that it can take any word embeddings as input and does not need an additional training corpus. The obtained embeddings live in the same vector space as the input word embeddings. A sparse tensor formalization guarantees efficiency and parallelizability. We use WordNet, GermaNet, and Freebase as semantic resources. AutoExtend achieves state-of-the-art performance on Word-in-Context Similarity and Word Sense Disambiguation tasks.

Distributional Information

This article presents a new model for word sense disambiguation formulated in terms of evolutionary game theory, where each word to be disambiguated is represented as a node on a graph whose edges represent word relations and senses are represented as classes. The words simultaneously update their class membership preferences according to the senses that neighboring words are likely to choose. We use distributional information to weigh the influence that each word has on the decisions of the others and semantic similarity information to measure the strength of compatibility among the choices. With this information we can formulate the word sense disambiguation problem as a constraint satisfaction problem and solve it using tools derived from game theory, maintaining the textual coherence. The model is based on two ideas: Similar words should be assigned to similar classes and the meaning of a word does not depend on all the words in a text but just on some of them. The article provides an in-depth motivation of the idea of modeling the word sense disambiguation problem in terms of game theory, which is illustrated by an example. The conclusion presents an extensive analysis on the combination of similarity measures to use in the framework and a comparison with state-of-the-art systems. The results show that our model outperforms state-of-the-art algorithms and can be applied to different tasks and in different scenarios.

Sense Disambiguation

Word sense disambiguation (WSD) is a fundamental problem in nature language processing, the objective of which is to identify the most proper sense for an ambiguous word in a given context. Although WSD has been researched over the years, the performance of existing algorithms in terms of accuracy and recall is still unsatisfactory. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to word sense disambiguation based on topical and semantic association. For a given document, supposing that its topic category is accurately discriminated, the correct sense of the ambiguous term is identified through the corresponding topic and semantic contexts. We firstly extract topic discriminative terms from document and construct topical graph based on topic span intervals to implement topic identification. We then exploit syntactic features, topic span features, and semantic features to disambiguate nouns and verbs in the context of ambiguous word. Finally, we conduct experiments on the standard data set SemCor to evaluate the performance of the proposed method, and the results indicate that our approach achieves relatively better performance than existing approaches.

The Impact

The evaluation of several tasks in lexical semantics is often limited by the lack of large amounts of manual annotations, not only for training purposes, but also for testing purposes. Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) is a case in point, as hand-labeled datasets are particularly hard and time-consuming to create. Consequently, evaluations tend to be performed on a small scale, which does not allow for in-depth analysis of the factors that determine a systems' performance. In this paper we address this issue by means of a realistic simulation of large-scale evaluation for the WSD task. We do this by providing two main contributions: First, we put forward two novel approaches to the wide-coverage generation of semantically aware pseudowords (i.e., artificial words capable of modeling real polysemous words); second, we leverage the most suitable type of pseudoword to create large pseudosense-annotated corpora, which enable a large-scale experimental framework for the comparison of state-of-the-art supervised and knowledge-based algorithms. Using this framework, we study the impact of supervision and knowledge on the two major disambiguation paradigms and perform an in-depth analysis of the factors which affect their performance.

Sense Disambiguation

Every year tens of millions of people suffer from depression and few of them get proper treatment on time. So, it is crucial to detect human stress and relaxation automatically via social media on a timely basis. It is very important to detect and manage stress before it goes into a severe problem. A huge number of informal messages are posted every day in social networking sites, blogs and discussion forums. This paper describes an approach to detect the stress using the information from social media networking sites, like tweeter.This paper presents a method to detect expressions of stress and relaxation on tweeter dataset i.e. working on sentiment analysis to find emotions or feelings about daily life. Sentiment analysis works the automatic extraction of sentiment related information from text. Here using TensiStrengthframework for sentiment strength detection on social networking sites to extract sentiment strength from the informal English text. TensiStrength is a system to detect the strength of stress and relaxation expressed in social media text messages. TensiStrength uses a lexical approach and a set of rules to detect direct and indirect expressions of stress or relaxation. This classifies both positive and negative emotions based on the strength scale from -5 to +5 indications of sentiments. Stressed sentences from the conversation are considered &categorised into stress and relax. TensiStrength is robust, it can be applied to a widevarietyofdifferent social web contexts. Theeffectiveness of TensiStrength depends on the nature of the tweets.In human being there is inborn capability to differentiate the multiple senses of an ambiguous word in a particular context, but machine executes only according to the instructions. The major drawback of machine translation is Word Sense Disambiguation. There is a fact that a single word can have multiple meanings or "senses." In the pre-processing partof-speech disambiguation is analysed and the drawback of WSD overcomes in the proposed method by unigram, bigram and trigram to give better result on ambiguous words. Here, SVM with Ngram gives better resultPrecision is65% and Recall is 67% .But, the main objective of this technique is to find the explicit and implicit amounts of stress and relaxation expressed in tweets. Keywords: Stress Detection, Data Mining, TensiStrength, word sense disambiguation.

Sense Disambiguation

Recently, generative approaches have been used effectively to provide definitions of words in their context. However, the opposite, i.e., generating a usage example given one or more words along with their definitions, has not yet been investigated. In this work, we introduce the novel task of Exemplification Modeling (ExMod), along with a sequence-to-sequence architecture and a training procedure for it. Starting from a set of (word, definition) pairs, our approach is capable of automatically generating high-quality sentences which express the requested semantics. As a result, we can drive the creation of sense-tagged data which cover the full range of meanings in any inventory of interest, and their interactions within sentences. Human annotators agree that the sentences generated are as fluent and semantically-coherent with the input definitions as the sentences in manually-annotated corpora. Indeed, when employed as training data for Word Sense Disambiguation, our examples enable the current state of the art to be outperformed, and higher results to be achieved than when using gold-standard datasets only. We release the pretrained model, the dataset and the software at https://github.com/SapienzaNLP/exmod.

Sense Disambiguation

Word sense disambiguation (WSD) is one of the core problems in natural language processing (NLP), which is to map an ambiguous word to its correct meaning in a specific context. There has been a lively interest in incorporating sense definition (gloss) into neural networks in recent studies, which makes great contribution to improving the performance of WSD. However, disambiguating polysemes of rare senses is still hard. In this paper, while taking gloss into consideration, we further improve the performance of the WSD system from the perspective of semantic representation. We encode the context and sense glosses of the target polysemy independently using encoders with the same structure. To obtain a better presentation in each encoder, we leverage the capsule network to capture different important information contained in multi-head attention. We finally choose the gloss representation closest to the context representation of the target word as its correct sense. We do experiments on English all-words WSD task. Experimental results show that our method achieves good performance, especially having an inspiring effect on disambiguating words of rare senses.
